As of 15.10, I've noticed that support for at least browser (SeaMonkey) seems to be respected in all applications besides 1) alternative browsers and 2) Thunderbird, which chooses Firefox no matter what, even if you make a change. As a result, I just quit using Thunderbird. I'm not sure if changes were made, but I definitely used to suffer from this bug and no longer do.
